 * Hi, I’ve tried to fix this issue myself, but am new to coding/php and haven’t
   managed to get it working. I’m using the SearchWP Live Ajax Search plugin and
   am trying to get it show the Category after the page title, rather than the post
   type. Here is the code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
       	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       		<?php $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() ); ?>
       		<div class="searchwp-live-search-result" role="option" id="" aria-selected="false">
       			<p><a>">
       				<?php the_title(); ?> (<?php echo esc_html( $post_type->labels->singular_name ); ?>) &raquo;
       			</a></p>
       		</div>
       	<?php endwhile; ?>
       <?php else : ?>
       	<p class="searchwp-live-search-no-results" role="option">
       		<em><?php esc_html_x( 'No results found.', 'swplas' ); ?></em>
       	</p>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I understand it’s the `<?php $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type());?
   >` line I need to change (I think) and assume it’s get_category I would need 
   to use? Just can’t figure out the syntax. Would appreciate any help!
 * Thanks

 * Can you instead ask at the plugin’s support sub-forum? Plugin specific questions
   are best in their sub-forum.
